One step forward, ten steps back
Easily forgotten in a world full of clutter...

I can feel my sanity slowly disappear
As my grip gets tighter, it only slips farther...

Falling farther and farther down
The wind whipping at my back...

I haven't been living
I haven't been alive...

I close my eyes to make this feeling go away
But the hopelessness won't stop creeping in...

Did I make the right choices?
Am I seeing what I'm supposed to see...

Love.
Such a small word for such a big feeling...

This room is getting smaller, each breath a bit...
Found the bottom and there's nowhere to escape...

Walking through the night, dark and alone
No one around and nothing to see...

The blackness swallows up my soul
Hopelessness consuming my being...

No amount of love,
Nor compassion...

Between the layers of brick and mortar
My heart beats with such melancholy...
